The Anomaly Reviews

3.5
“Grave Encounters by way of The Descent but in a way that somehow did not grab me.”
Anxious Face with sweat“What captured my attention and prompted me to pick this up was the question of “what if Indiana Jones was mixed with the X-Files?” This novel was an interesting concept and a fast read. I would describe the genre as thriller with a slight bit of horror mixed in. Also, if you like conspiracy theories, you might enjoy this! It was a fun ride (in the thriller and ‘what’s gonna happen next’ aspect), but I felt the ending was a bit rushed and wrapped up too quickly. There is a sequel, so maybe more themes and points of interest in the story are explored more? Things this reminded me of: Oak Island Time Trap (a movie from 2017) Ancient Aliens”
“A little ridiculous in some of its concepts, but in a fun way— I feel like it understood it was being so. Indiana Jones meets the X Files is what this is described as and I agree with that diagnosis! Nice pacing and length, I think the characters each had strong traits and weak points, some were a little underdeveloped but I still think everyone had their own kind of charm that made me well invested. Great descriptive writing and it felt original, would recommend for a fun cave expedition sci-fi thriller/horror.”
